Broken Angel


She’s a broken angel She can’t fly anymore She’s a broken angel She can’t deal no more The mornings are ending The nights are dead The walls are pressing in Voices in my head The demons press her harder Up against the wall Squirming, come on faster As she crushes on her feet Nothing is surrounding Just the panting and her fear Only faces in her dreams Laughing and laughing at what she’ll never be Her feet stumble along the surface Hands reach blindly for a wall Something to make her stable Or sane the least of all When awake, people smile But she knows the truth behind The whispers from the corner The closed door she’ll never find The shrieks are getting muffled Claws scratching down the wall Bang the door for notice But yet still I fall Suffocating, the air she cannot reach Reaching for some surface or a hand to stop it all Sinking like an anchor No matter how hard she fights Should I hold on farther? Or is there no care left for air Is there no care left in here Here where I’ve been forced to be She’s a broken angel She can’t fly anymore She’s a broken angel She can’t deal no more Don’t let me go, she says But no one hears The demons pull her in and she Disappears from here
